Tragedy for the Red Arrows Sadly today after an amazing show along Bournemouth Sea Front a Red Arrow's pilot FL Jon Egging's plane crashed in field on the outskirts of the airport. Obviously investigations will take place but early reports indicate he left ejecting to the very last minute to make sure the plane came down away from houses.
Very sad day :(

Re: Tragedy for the Red Arrows Tragic news. I hear on the news tonight that the Red Arrows will now be grounded until they find the cause of the accident. The pilot has to be praised, he must have known he would lose his life saving others. His family should be very proud despite their loss. Could this be the end of the Worlds Greatest Aerobatic Team? After all it is their second accident in a relatively short space of time.

Re: Tragedy for the Red Arrows Very sad, as ex RAF I know how his family will feel, the RAF at Scampton are a close knit community and will all be feeling great sadness, the ground crews and the pilots will be overcome with grief but the support network has been in place a long time, FLT LT Jon Egging's family will recieve the support of the whole of the RAF.
FLT LT Jon Egging Rest in Peace

Re: Tragedy for the Red Arrows I hope this isn't the end of the Red Arrows!!!! last fatality was 23 years ago - they have a very good record............they are lighting candles and lanterns on the beach tonight at 8.30....2 books of condolence are open at the Town Hall and flowers can be laid.
I still can't believe this has happened and thanks raf176 I'm glad there is a lot of support for his family, friends and team.
